The legendary football player Tom Brady once again showed his support for the digital asset sector. He stated that he would love to have some of his earnings in Bitcoin, Ethereum (ETH), and Solana tokens.

‘ The Digital Age is upon Us ‘

Tom Brady, the seven-time Super Bowl champ and undoubtedly one of the most outstanding football players, is a strong proponent of crypto. During a recent interview with Jim Gray on the Let’s Go Sirius XM podcast, he revealed that he wants to get part of his NFL salary in digital assets instead of fiat currencies.

Apart from the two leading cryptocurrencies by market capitalization – Bitcoin and Ethereum – Brady also showed interest in one of the best performing blockchain projects this year – Solana:

“I’d love to get paid in some Bitcoin or Ethereum or Solana tokens. I think it’s an amazing thing that’s happening in the world with the way the world is becoming more digital.”

The quarterback praised the underlying technology behind digital assets as the future as it allows fast and transparent transactions. He predicted that athletes would soon be able to request cryptocurrency payments:

The digital age is here. We won’t be going back, I think. The technology and information are helping us track things better. And I definitely see a world where players are going to be paid in cryptocurrencies in the future.”

In fact, the professional football player Saquon Barkley already said he would receive all his future endorsement money in bitcoin. The 24-year-old running back of the New York Giants highlighted the primary cryptocurrency as the right choice for a store of value, especially when inflation starts to shake the economy.

Tom Brady’s Previous Crypto Endeavors

This is not the first time that the American football player has been involved in the cryptocurrency space.

In April, Brady jumped into the non-fungible token craze by releasing his own NFT platform called Autograph. He launched the initiative to bring together prominent names from different industries such as sports, fashion and entertainment who would create their own unique digital artworks. The platform has already been used by Naomi Osaka, Tony Hawk, Tiger Woods and Tony Hawk.

Shortly after, the quarterback doubled down on his cryptocurrency endeavors. He and Gisele Bundchen, his wife, took an equity share in FTX, a digital asset trading platform. The exchange would pay them a commission and they would also serve as ambassadors.
